"This hotel is simply fantastic!
First off, regarding accessibility: if you're coming from the airport with light luggage, it's a direct 5-minute walk from Gongde Station Exit 1. If you have a lot of luggage, you can take the elevator at Exit 8, then walk a short distance and cross the street. Mapo Station Exit 2 also has an elevator, but getting there would require a transfer, and subway transfers in Korea often mean a considerable walk – so it's generally better to stick to the Gongde exits. Being close to two subway stations (Gongde and Mapo) makes getting around incredibly convenient.
Secondly, right downstairs from the hotel, there's a local Korean coffee chain, and their bingsu (shaved ice) is quite good. However, for coffee, I'd recommend sticking to the complimentary options in the hotel lobby, as the downstairs shop tends to add too much sugar.
To the right of the hotel entrance, you'll find an Olive Young (which is often less crowded, making tax refunds easier), Samdeok Fried Chicken (offering delicious pineapple makgeolli and tteokbokki, with long operating hours), McDonald's, and Subway. To the left, there's 'Niuyue,' which offers high-quality beef offal dishes, and a 7-11 convenience store. Across the street, you'll find a Starbucks, and if you venture further down the alley just past it, you'll discover a vibrant food street.
I particularly recommend the breakfast served at the Gyeongbokgung restaurant on the hotel's 2nd floor. They offer 6 authentic Korean dishes of excellent quality. Just remember not to compare them to Chinese cuisine, as Korean dishes are generally simpler overall. Additionally, the Korean BBQ on the 2nd floor also offers excellent quality. The ingredients are fresh, the flavors are authentic, and the atmosphere is quite private. Naturally, the prices are on the higher side, but they also offer various set menus and fixed-price meals.
The hotel facilities themselves are excellent. The room size is decent, and each room comes with both a shower and a bathtub. Housekeeping cleans the rooms punctually every day. Complementary amenities such as an ice machine, microwave, washing machine, dryer, and gym are also readily available.
If I ever visit Seoul again, I would definitely choose this hotel."
